The Hornby Festival brings another world-class lineup to Hornby Island this summer from July 31 to Aug. 9, 2025 during their multi-genre art, music and cultural festival.
Experience everything from Classical to Funk to Rock to Folk on the outdoor mainstage at Rosemuir Farm. Make a visit to Rosemuir Farm, the Community Hall and New Horizons to take in one of our Indigenous programming done under the cultural direction of Elder Barbara Whyte (Billy), Pentlatch knowledge keeper and member of the K鈥櫭砿oks First Nation.
